Well, what do I know... the only bitches I've been around the past few years loves to sleep with me on the sofa..

Anyways... I hope you got a decent quality PSU.

Why did you have to reinstall windows with a new PSU? It shouldn't make any difference to the OS what PSU it uses.

That was because windows barfed out because the PSU was insufficient. Originally he thought it was windows acting up because of a hardware change (we all had that one occur). But during the reinstall it barfed. Incomplete install. Brain turned on, he realized that the PSU was the bastard of the day, and after replacing that, he was able to continue breaking his PC by installing windows ;D

Ok makes sense now.

Dont feel bad. Thats the first time I can recall you doing that in quite some time. I have to do that once a week, otherwise my rep starts getting healed.

yeah. This would have a happy ending if my linux boot disk would have worked. I might just install mandrake 9 and say piss on it.

hmmm. MDK 9 aint bad. But nonetheless, it should be a repairable error.

Just had a similar problem:

A friend of mine has this ANCIENT Compaq PC (Pentium class of some kind, around the 400-500 mark)
and he just got a GeForce4 card and figured... this with run (it was a PCI slot model), but after like 30secs running time in Windows the machine freezes..

Turns out there's a 110W PSU in that thing..... obviously I told him that he might want to try another PSU (now all we have to do is to find a powerful PSU with AT connectors to test with... oh and it has to fit into the specially designed casing.
